Initially, there did not appear to be much use by township residents. Supervisor John Kopacz said there were some sign-in sheets they did not have, while he and Rogers agreed a number of people did not sign in at the city’s operation.

Rogers admitted he signed in only once when he made several trips.

"I think the cost is less than half what we thought" per user, he said.

The Department of Municipal Services collects plant material at its operation center and converts it into compost. This allows residents of the city and township to dispose of plant materials then to pick up the compost for use on their yards.

Trustees also delayed dedication of the new township park next to the hall on Sprague Street while contractors repairs minor issues including washouts in the rain garden, dead flowers and trees and the need to reseed.

"There’s a full page of little things," Kopacz said.

Kopacz also said that the video cameras which watch over the park, township hall and recycling collections are operational.

"We monitor the whole complex now" and soon hope to stream recordings from the cameras live on the Internet, he said.

The trustees also approved the 2013 tax millage rate of .9528 mills for all operations including parks, roads and fire. This is the same as it was in 2012.
